::A Motivation Metaphor You Can Use to Change Your Life::
Picture this. You're standing on conveyor belt. It's carrying you down a long, narrow hallway. Each side of the hallway is lined with closed doors, small signs hanging just above their frame.
The messages on those signs is something that you need to pay close attention to. Very close attention.
The speed of the conveyor belt isn't too fast - slow enough to let you comfortably open and step through one of the doors - but not much time to question your choice.
After a few moments, a door has passed you by forever.
Peering down the long hallway you see the belt is heading toward a larger door marked 'EXIT.'
You have a fair amount of time before you reach this door, but make no mistake, you are forever moving toward it.

What is Written on Those Signs???
_________________________________________________
After a few minutes, your curiosity gets the best of you and you focus intently on the writing above each door.
After passing a few doors trying your best to make out the small writing, you realize that each sign contains a personal goal, a change you've always wanted to make or a dream you've always wanted to achieve.
This corridor is your life.
Each door is an opportunity for change, for happiness, for success. Everything you have ever wanted to be, do, and have is represented by each door along the corridor.
And just like life, the longer you wait to step through the doors, the greater the chance that they'll pass you by.
Eventually nearly every door will be behind you, impossible to enter. I say nearly because only one will remain - the one at the end of the corridor.
Before we move on, I have a question for you.
Do you know what would be written above each door? Do you know what you really want today, tomorrow, and ten years from now? If you don't know what you want, you'll never get anything more than you have right now.
But don't worry! If you only know that you are dissatisfied with what you have now, all hope is not lost. There is great power in dissatisfaction; it's the beginning of change and improvement. You just have to know what to do with it.
